Apartment on Botanikuri

Apartment on Botanikuri Overview

I finally landed in Tbilisi last summer, and honestly, the vibe was electric right from the moment I stepped off the tram that rattled along Shardeni Street. The little sign at the corner of Botanikuri str—”Apartment on Botanikuri“—immediately let me know I was in the right place. Check‑in was a breeze: a friendly host had a QR‑scan kiosk set up, so I could skip the long line at the tourist office and head straight into the apartment. There was a quick security pass‑code, a handful of keys, and a small welcome packet that included a map of the neighborhood, a list of nearby cafés, and a note that the building’s parking lot is free for guests during the week but requires a reservation during peak season.

The apartment itself is a cozy, two‑bedroom flat that feels more like a home than a hotel. The living area is bathed in natural light from a window that looks out onto the bustling Botanikuri market street. You can hear the faint hum of traffic, the clatter of a tram, and—if you’re lucky—a vendor shouting out fresh khinkali and roasted chestnuts. The kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped: a small fridge, a single burner, a coffee maker that makes a mean Turkish espresso, and a stainless‑steel oven that’s great for an impromptu pizza night. I liked the soft, worn rug in the living room and the old‑world charm of the exposed brick walls. The décor is a mix of Georgian antiques and contemporary art—small, personal touches that make you feel like you’re staying in a local’s apartment. Noise from the street is manageable; the apartment is on the second floor, and the building’s soundproofing is decent, though you can still pick up the distant chatter of nearby cafés.

When it comes to exploring the city, this spot is a real gem. A short walk takes you to the historic Old Town with its cobblestones and the iconic Sioni Cathedral. If you’re craving a coffee break, the café on Samgori Street is just a 10‑minute stroll away, and the locals swear by their blackberry jam. For a quiet night out, the rooftop bar on Mtatsminda offers panoramic views that you’ll want to revisit after the sunset. The best time to stay here is early spring or late autumn—when the city isn’t too hot, and the tourist crowds are thinner. However, if you’re a night owl, be prepared for the occasional late‑night traffic that can keep the building’s windows from staying absolutely silent. Overall, the apartment delivers a comfortable, authentic stay without the blandness of chain hotels, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Tbilisi’s lively, yet laid‑

Exploring Tbilisi offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Georgia’s cultural heart, from its ancient sulfur baths to its world-renowned wine traditions and stunning Caucasus mountain backdrop.

• Really big space. Located in center of tourist region. – Jaime from Netherlands – September 2, 2025 (10/10)

  Really big space. Central touristic location next to the sulfur baths. Comfortable bed and good shower. We really liked it there. If I would have a bigger group, it would also be a very economical choice.
  
  Note that taxis cannot go up the street. You need to ask your driver to drop you at the bottom of botanikuri.
  
  What could be improved: The bedroom could use an air conditioner for the summer. There is only one in the apartment. They have fans to move the cold air around.

  What could be improved: Only 1 toilet , no AC , there is lot of stairs we are very exhausted..

• Good stay for a weekend – Pavel from Armenia – October 23, 2023 (7/10)

  The apartment was very big, it had 2 bedrooms and 1 living room and a big kitchen. There was a balcony with a nice view. The location was great! Just a few minutes from the Botanical garden.
  There was a washing machine. There was some cutlery, cups and plates. There were closets and cupboards. There was an electric kettle. The Wi-Fi was okay.
  
  What could be improved: There were some shortcomings that spoiled the impression. There was only one soap. There were no shower gels, shampoos, or cotton swabs. There was no tea or instant coffee. The inside of the kettle had a white coating on it. We cleaned it of scale ourselves. It's time to replace the chairs in the living room. They are unstable and broken. The bed also looks broken. Bathroom cabinet doors don't work well.
  
  The washing machine worked weirdly. Washing on the synthetic cycle for 55 minutes did not finish after 55 minutes. For another 15 minutes it continued to show the last minute, but did not even start the spin cycle. We ended up turning off the machine and setting it to rinse and spin manually. In the end, the wash took two hours.

  What could be improved: Poor facilities, old equipment, no parking, Many narrow stairs
